There are thousands of packages being delivered throughout the New Orleans area this holiday season. But State Police investigators say a crate mailed to a Kenner business last week contained 200 pounds of marijuana, according to arrest reports.

Three men, two from Metairie, were arrested after investigators allowed a controlled delivery of the package on Friday.

Troopers were watching when the crate was delivered at a business in the 2400 block of Bainbridge Avenue in Kenner. John Glasgow, 39, of Phoenix, Ariz., took possession of the crate and loaded it into a vehicle, the arrest report said. Glasgow then drove the crate to a hotel in the 2100 block of Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie.

Glasgow left the crate inside of the vehicle in the hotel parking lot. But within minutes, Hung Nguyen, 31, and Cuong Nguyen, 29, both of Metairie, arrived at the hotel. It's not clear if the two men are related.

But Cuong Nguyen got into the driver's seat of the vehicle Glasglow left and drove it, and the 200 pounds of marijuana, to his apartment, located at 2411 Richland Ave., Metairie, the arrest report said.

Troopers were still watching as the duo unloaded the crate and took it into their apartment, the report said. Investigators moved in and received consent to search the apartment. Both Nguyens were arrested at the residence while Glasgow was taken into custody at the hotel, arrest reports said.

Glasgow, Hung Nguyen and Cuong Nguyen were booked Friday with drug possession with the intent to distribute, arrest reports said. No bond information was available.
